Crafty Calendar Challenge 2 & DU2DS Challenge 25

CRAFTY CALENDAR CARD
Happy Friday to you all! We had a fab time at the firework party last night and the fireworks were amazing...there was a big bonfire too which is a real novelty these days as people don't seem to have them anymore! I am off to Great Yarmouth for the weekend this afternoon with Sophie...it's the last majorette competition of the year....and I'm sure you must be able to hear me heave a huge sigh of relief on that one...I'm going armed with electric heaters this time as I refuse to sleep in a cold caravan like we did in Clacton lol!

I've got two cards for you today....the first is for this month's Crafty Calendar Challenge with a theme of WEATHER...there is also an optional extra to use PEARLS on your card but this isn't compulsory!

Here is the recipe for my Crafty Calendar Card
Design Papers : Carol Ann CD
Blue Card Stock : SU!
Digi Image : Doodle Palace (Rain Bear)
Sentiment : Created on the PC
Colouring Medium : Promarkers
Embellies : Pearls from my stash!

DARE U 2 DIGI STAMP CARD
My second card is for Dare U 2 Digi Stamp and my lovely teamie Larissa has designed a brilliant SKETCH which really made me think about how I could do my card...thanks Larissa...I really enjoyed this one!

Here is the recipe for my Dare U Digi Stamp Card

Well, you know you're just the craftiest - that little monkey card is adorable. I love the complimentary accent color to the browns - really makes it snap. Of course there's my favorite - bear- in blue. You've got me there! The pearl drops for rain drops is UNIQUELY perfect! The coloring is so fine - Donna, you're the tops, girl!
